The practice of reflexology has it's origins dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Indians, and Chinese who worked the feet to promote health. Modern zone therapy reflexology was developed in the early 1900s with the theory that areas of the hands and feet (reflexes or pressure points) connect with organs and the rest of the body within the same zone. It is believed that issues identified within the feet are reflected as issues, or imbalances, within the body.
